Atmospheric conditions will be favorable for the formation of
short lived funnel clouds across southern Wisconsin over the next
several hours. These funnels normally do not touch the ground. As a result... they rarely do any damage and last only a few minutes.

However... remain alert and be prepared to move to a place of
safety if a funnel should approach the ground.
